Energy is a bigger cost than most k-12 schools realize
Schools run classroom HVAC and lighting, cafeterias, gyms and IT through the school day, with strong seasonal patterns.
In a deregulated market, the supply charge — typically more than half your bill — is competitive. That’s the part USA Energy puts out to bid across 26+ suppliers, locking the lowest fixed rate for the longest sensible term while your utility keeps delivering the power. It costs you nothing: the supplier pays us, never you.
What it costs
What k-12 schools typically spend on power
A typical k-12 schools operation runs about 30,000–300,000 kWh per month. At the U.S. average commercial rate, that’s roughly $4,176–$41,760 in energy alone — before delivery and demand charges. The supply piece is what we shop.
Estimates at 13.92¢/kWh (latest EIA data). See average bills by business type and rates for your state.
What drives your bill
School-day peaks and seasonality
Load concentrates during the school day and shifts with the calendar. We lock a competitive fixed rate so budgets set months ahead aren’t upset by a hot spring or an energy-market swing.
